Wind and solar need storage diversity, not just capacity
Despite massive capacity additions, wind and solar curtailment rates have remained stubbornly high in northwestern China. Moreover, reliance on fossil fuel-based
Why solar and wind are losing momentum in many countries
As Better Energy said this morning ‘The main challenge is no longer the production of more renewable energy, but increasingly declining demand’. In an unavoidable
Wind and solar are at odds with growth – Mackinac
This is a direct result of closing reliable and energy-dense coal plants. The energy transition to wind and solar was decided before its practicality was tested. No place has found an increased reliance on wind
The cost of renewables will continue to fall, this is why
Policy and shifting attitudes toward climate change are an important driver of this transformation, but the underlying enabler is cost: solar and wind technologies keep getting cheaper on a per
Solving renewable energy’s sticky storage problem
The more solar and wind plants the world installs to wean grids off fossil fuels, the more urgently it needs mature, cost-effective technologies that can cover many locations and store energy for at least
The United States’ Solar Energy Downturn: Understanding Why
Consider Battery Storage: Solar battery storage can increase energy independence and provide backup power during outages. The Future of U.S. Solar: Opportunities for Growth
The era of cheap Chinese solar + storage is ending
Solar and storage prices will rise 9% in Q4 as China cuts production and ends export tax rebates, Wood Mackenzie says.
Why Power Prices Go Negative: Wind, Solar and
Electricity production from wind turbines can surge, or slump, within the space of a few hours. And the expansion of solar makes oversupply a growing problem during daylight hours, particularly
A Primer on Wind and Solar Value Deflation
Although wind and solar are expected to play key roles in decarbonizing electric generation, the economic potential of wind and solar is a moving target that depends both on declining
Why wind and solar are key solutions to combat climate change
Solar and wind power costs have been declining rapidly. During the decade to , the cost of wind and solar power fell by 55% and 85%, respectively. The cost of
